Snap Pea Radish Spring Salad (Print Version)

Crisp snap peas, thin radishes, herbs, and a creamy tahini dressing for a bright, 15-minute spring salad.

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 200 g snap peas, trimmed and halved on the diagonal
02 - 6–8 radishes, thinly sliced
03 - 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
04 - 30 g fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
05 - 30 g fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped

→ Tahini Dressing

06 - 3 tbsp tahini
07 - 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
08 - 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
09 - 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
10 - 2 tbsp cold water (more as needed)
11 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
12 - ½ tsp salt
13 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

14 - 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
15 - Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

# Steps:

01 - Prepare all vegetables: trim snap peas, and thinly slice radishes and spring onions. Place in a large salad bowl with mint and parsley.
02 - For the dressing: Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, maple syrup (or honey), minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in water, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth and pourable.
03 - Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently until vegetables are coated.
04 - Transfer to a serving platter or individual bowls. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and lemon zest, if desired.
05 - Serve immediately for maximum freshness.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • This isn’t just a salad—each bite wakes up your tastebuds like a secret handshake for your palate.
  • The creamy tahini drizzle hugs every crisp vegetable without overwhelming them and makes every forkful feel a bit special.
02 -
  • Never add the dressing too far ahead—the veggies wilt and lose their pop if you do.
  • Real sesame seeds, freshly toasted, transformed my salad from nice to unforgettable—worth the extra minute.
03 -
  • Let the salad sit for just five minutes after tossing with dressing—it helps the flavors settle, but don’t leave it longer.
  • If your tahini has separated in the jar, stir it well before measuring for the smoothest, creamiest result.
